Catering to your aircraft in Redwood Falls.
At 1,024 ft on the Minnesota River valley, Redwood Falls Municipal sees mostly light and midsize jets, so we pack for small galleys and hand the food over at the FBO.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Redwood Falls is farm country on the Minnesota River, and the private jet menu we build here leans on what the Upper Midwest does well. A private jet menu for KRWF can open with wild rice, sweet corn in season, smoked trout, cheese curds and bison. We treat these local specialities as inflight menu items: what travels cold goes on a platter, what needs heat is finished in your oven.
Private jet food for a Minnesota arrival works best when it respects the season. In summer the inflight menu carries sweet corn, tomatoes and berries; in autumn, wild rice and squash; in winter, hotdish-style comfort plates built to survive the drawer. These local specialities are cooked in Minnesota, packed for the aircraft, and delivered to the FBO at Redwood Falls Municipal.

If your passengers are coming to Redwood Falls for a hunting weekend or a farm-country meeting, the food has to travel in a light jet drawer. Our private jet catering at KRWF is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants. Expect inflight catering that survives a short taxi, in-flight catering sized to your seat plan, and aviation catering for business aviation catering and executive jet catering trips. Diplomatic flight catering is handled by a named team, and cabin crew meals come on request.
Business jet catering at KRWF usually means a short Minnesota hop: executives heading to a plant visit or a hunting party in season. Corporate jet catering here favours compact menus, VIP flight catering for the cabin, charter flight catering with clear seat labels, and luxury inflight catering that fits the drawer. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the aircraft and the passengers.
When an official party lands at KRWF, the order comes through protocol. Government flight catering and VIP aviation catering run on a named team, head of state flight catering keeps strict traceability, and state visit aircraft catering is agreed in advance and delivered quietly at the FBO.
Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are handled as a procedure, not a label. In Minnesota the usual hiding places for allergens are the wheat in gravies and hotdish binders, dairy in cheese curds and soup bases, and nuts in baked goods. Special meals are cooked on separate boards and packed in sealed boxes by seat number, with allergen free and kids meals ordered the same way.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
For crews at KRWF, the meal has to work in a jumpseat. Crew meals and flight crew meals come in sealed crew meal boxes, pilot meals are packed apart from passenger trays, and crew catering is added to the order on request. Cockpit meals stay simple, and different meals for pilots are available when policy asks. Cabin crew meals follow the same ordering.
FBO catering at Redwood Falls means catering delivery to the FBO, where your handling agent meets us and walks the food to the aircraft. The general aviation terminal is small, so ground handling catering is coordinated by phone beforehand. Handling agent catering keeps airside access clean.
Redwood Falls Municipal serves smaller business aircraft, so most uplifts go through the cabin door rather than a high loader. If you fly something larger and need galley catering lifted airside, tell us the type and we plan the airside catering delivery with your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning at KRWF is sized to the galley you actually have: one oven, a drawer, limited cold storage.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

KRWF is a municipal general aviation airport in southwestern Minnesota, and for the farm towns around it the field works as a small business aviation hub for light jets and turboprops. FBO services are limited, ground handling services are arranged ahead by phone, and airport catering is handed over at the terminal apron.
Business aviation catering at Redwood Falls follows the calendar: hunting parties in autumn, harvest visits, winter charters when the apron is plowed first thing. As a quiet business aviation hub, the field sees executive jet catering and inflight catering sized to small cabins, in-flight catering built for short legs, and aviation catering for plant visits that stays simple. Diplomatic flight catering is rare here but handled by a named team, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered with the trip.
As a US domestic field and a modest business aviation hub, Redwood Falls has no customs facility of its own; international arrivals clear elsewhere. Customs rules on meat, dairy and produce matter on the foreign end of any leg, so we pack sealed and labelled for the receiving country.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“One detail shaped our order at Redwood Falls Municipal Airport: a late menu amendment, alongside a request for grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 7 passengers. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the sauces, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The side dishes were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. I want an inflight catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“Keeping the galley organised at KRWF meant planning roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 2 guests with two separate meal services in mind. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of sauces with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. We also checked the starters before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at galley preparation after this experience.”
“Packing prawn salad and small fruit plates for 2 passengers at RWF needed careful thought, especially given different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls kept the breakfast portions separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. I appreciated the emphasis on storage requirements throughout the in-flight catering services arrangements. The sandwiches stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”
Aircraft type drives the number here. A king air-class cabin at KRWF can only hold so much, so the order stays small and simple; a midsize jet allows hot courses and platters. Price follows what you choose from the menu, not a rate card, and the quote arrives before you commit.
In harvest season the field is busy with farm traffic, and in deep winter departures slip. Either way, the order is built against your slot, and a changed slot means a changed pickup, not a new order. Last-minute orders are handled.
A return meal ordered from Redwood Falls travels like any domestic uplift, but if you cross into Canada or beyond, customs on arrival may ask about fresh meat and dairy. We pack return legs with that in mind and label everything clearly.
Bringing food is permitted, yet for a night leg it often means soft, tired sandwiches. We pack for late departures with items that hold in the drawer and re-plate cleanly, and deliver to the FBO whatever the hour.
A charter into Redwood Falls covers the flight, not the food. Order separately, invoiced separately, and tell us about airside access so the handling agent can let us through.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
